Celebrities from around the globe gathered at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre’s gala on Saturday, which marked the grand opening. Among them was Zendaya, who arrived at the event in a sheer violet sari with gold and nature-themed embellishments designed by Rahul Mishra.
In addition to taking solo photos, Zendaya posed with her longtime stylist, Roach. Mishra also made Roach’s ensemble.
Holland also attended and posed for photographers in a classic black tux. Videos on social media showed the trio mingling inside the event after taking photos.
The gala marks Zendaya and Roach’s first public event together since he announced his retirement as a celebrity stylist in March. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Roach wrote that he stepped away due to the politics of the fashion industry.
“If this business was just about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately it’s not! The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me! You win … I’m out,” he wrote.
In a statement to Insider in March, Roach said he also wanted to focus on himself.
“I’ve spent so much time and energy nurturing this love and it has become my way of communicating with the world. I don’t plan to walk away from it entirely, I am just going to take some time to step away from celebrity styling and focus on myself for the first time in nearly a decade,” he said.
After fans expressed shock over the decision, Roach clarified that he still intended to work with Zendaya.
“So y’all really think I’m breaking up with Z….. we are forever!” he tweeted. “She’s my little sister and it’s real love not the fake industry love.”
The gala also reunited Zendaya and Holland on the red carpet for the first time since the “Spider-Man: No Way Home” premiere in December 2021. The couple sparked dating rumors while filming Marvel’s latest installment of Spider-Man films but appeared to confirm their relationship when they were spotted together in June 2021.
